FYSH (First Year Students of Hillel) celebrated Tu B’Shevat, the Jewish new year for the trees, with a variety of fruit and chocolate.
Participants made fruit kabobs, and each decorated and planted a flower pot with a variety of herbs and flowers such as chamomile, lavender, sage, and mint.
Tu B’Shevat is an ecological holiday designed to remind Jews of our connection to the earth and to our role as caretakers of the environment.
I’m pulling back the curtain a bit again (I think this is going to be a theme for the year…you’re an insider, so you deserve to know what’s really going on!). We’re seeing some trends at Hillel of San Diego that we need to address.
User experience is everything. Let me walk you through what we do – you’re an insider, so I’m pulling back the curtain so you can see the method and intentionality behind the magic.
Are you worried about the future of Jewish life? Antisemitism is rampant. Social media loves to spread hate. Some young people are questioning their connection to Israel.
I get it. Can I tell you why I’m not scared?
